Topic: Gentle Giant Bust Ups! (Read 44908 times)

I brought up the idea about the environments working with Hasbro figures in the 30th Anniversary area, mostly because I'm not familiar with GG and only knew the scale of Bust-Ups went relatively well with Hasbro stuff so the wording was tricky in the news on these...

Brent definitely knows that line though obviously and I'm not too hopeful on much useful stuff coming of this now... The only possible positive I can see is that SOMETHING looks possibly in-place with the basic figures... perhaps the floor pieces or some such.

At least the Bust-Ups themselves are still useful. I'm wanting the CW Clone Mini-Gunner for the weapon alone.

It said there with still be waist-ups along with the full figures. My impression is that the ones that will be full figures will be 'short' characters they wouldn't make otherwise, like the Ewoks they mentioned.

You would be correct. The environment elements that are part of the Bust Ups line are pretty small. The figures in those scenes are roughly the same size as the Bust Ups, and are NOT in scale with them. A comparable piece to give you an idea of the size of these Gentle Giant Bust Ups "scenes" are the Tomy mini-dioramas.

i think that they have made rifle shocktrooper version but it is very rare and u could only find them in the clone packs.in ur opinion which is the rarest bust up?i think commander gree is.i have seen it only once on ebay and it had buyitnowprice of 300 dollars.

Yeah, he is. There's one up on ebay right now, but I have one retailer that carries them locally. Well, two, but one will open the box, see it and ebay it immediately, so that's no help. If anyone stumbles on a spare of that one, I could use help there. Otherwise I'll wait for ebay, as usual.

Pics of new bustups are showing an Endor series complete with what were being suggested were mini-dioramas, along the lines of the Tomy stuff. That's sure what they look like, based on the Falcon/Death Star and Scout on Speederbike versions I've seen pics of. Mixed in with regular bustups styled pieces as well, so this line ain't dead yet.

I'm digging the Tarkin... I've been waiting for that now for a while. The XW/Death Star one reminds me of an ornament that was sold at Target a year or two ago... The little diorama bits are kind of neat though, definitely different and adding something to the line.
